Zach Top closed his Cold Beer & Country Music Tour Friday night (Oct. 30) with a sold-out show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The tour sold 921,820 tickets over its run. The more-than-two-hour concert included songs from both of Top’s albums and guest appearances by Brandon Coleman of The Red Clay Strays and Lukas Nelson.
Top opened with “Sounds Like the Radio” and performed his current RIAA Gold-certified single “South of Sanity,” along with the 4× Platinum “I Never Lie” and Platinum-certified “Bad Luck.”
“I started coming to this town in 2018. Kept my head down, it was close to five years or something, just writing songs and wishing to God I could go out and play some shows and that some people would show up and wanna hear me sing the songs that I’ve been writing. Roughly two and a half, three years ago, that started happening. It’s been a wild ride ever since then,” Top told the crowd. “And I can’t thank each and every one of you enough for being here tonight and making a youthful hillbilly from Sunnyside, Washington’s dreams come true. Thank you so much.”
The Tennessean praised Top’s performance, writing, “Top didn’t need the lights flashing through stage smoke to hold the room. His rich, commanding voice did that, moving effortlessly from a warm baritone to a soaring falsetto without losing an ounce of country grit. And when he dug into his guitar, it was clear his hands could keep up.”
Coleman joined Top for performances of “That’s All” and “Use Me.”
The tour wraps up a year that included a GRAMMY win for Ain’t In It For My Health, which took home Best Traditional Country Album at the 68th GRAMMY Awards, the first year the category was presented.
Top, the reigning CMA New Artist of the Year, is nominated for Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year at the upcoming 60th Annual CMA Awards. He is also set to headline the 2027 Stagecoach Music Festival.
